“A Blind Man” by Zoe King

Submitted to Contest #231

Friday - Dear Diary, My parents always say, “Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking.” Today we went to the mall. In the parking lot, there was a man asking for money; he claimed to be blind. I’d tugged on my mother’s sleeve and asked to spare a dollar for Secret Santa gifts. My family is very rich. I don’t need ten dollars — I dropped it in the man’s tin can instead. My mother saw me do...

Author bio

A small writer of a young age. I like to change up my stories, so if one is sad and the next is randomized, it's because, for me, it's interesting to explore the different genres and techniques. At the moment, my favorite POV is first person (normally present),👤, my favorite genre is easily dystopian🏙🏚 and I like to experiment with techniques😋 I promise I'm not a nerd, I'm just like the rest of you - eager to share. Because how can people adore you if you don't share? So happy writing!😊
